Germany - digital topographic maps

Why digital topographic maps?

Everybody who uses them knows that they are not just a gimmick. Satisfied users report on the usage with the PC:

• It is very helpful to know in advance how long a planned hiking tour will take
• I discovered many new interesting places, even in my own neighbourhood
• The whole family enjoys planning biking tours together on the PC
• I compare the elevation profiles of several ascents and choose the ideal route for me

• If I for example come across a location with many edible mushrooms, I can save it with one push of a button and recover it anytime
• I can monitor my performance on a canoe trip and compare it with previous trips
• It will never happen again that I get lost in the forest and only find my way out after midnight
• Even if 5 paths lead to different directions from an intersection and the signs are irrecognizable, I always know which one to go
• In foreign cities I immediately get familiar - one glance at the smartphone is enough, on public transportation, on foot or with a rented car
• With my smartphone on the handlebar, I get much more information displayed than with a speedometer - in the Palmcase it also is water and shock resistant
• As we got surprised by bad weather in the mountains, I knew where to go even though the track was not recognizable anymore
